25. I actually believe this has maximum impact now, versus earlier.

I grieve for the 200,000 souls who Trump has martyred. I don't think Woodward could have saved many of them. I just don't agree with the logic of claiming that any investigation is needed to confirm that Turd was lying. You play the interview tapes and the press conference tapes side by side. Done. Lie is proven.

So I might question Woodward's ethics, but I don't question his calculation. Doing maximum damage to Turd a few weeks out from the election is even more valuable than whatever brief impact the story might have had back in February. Even when you factor in the 200,000 murdered people. Turd will murder millions if he stays in power.

Correct. And spent 6 months arguing with family and friends, Trumps lies. LizBeth Sep 2020 #1

Maybe some, keep piling it on. I think the military things coming to light are more believable Kota Sep 2020 #11
Of course. By now most of us just assume he's full of shit and just ignore him. But, not... TreasonousBastard Sep 2020 #7
Woodward didn't need 6 months to investigate. He knew that Turd was saying opposite things. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #18
Knowing and proving are two completely different things, so... TreasonousBastard Sep 2020 #23
